Chapter Four: Mission; Day 5 (5 Years before DBZ)

Three days; that’s how long how long it’s been since Vegeta last saw Raditz or Nappa. Three days that he sat in the tiny cage with a skeleton without eating. He was freezing; he was horny; craving the familiar touch that belonged to Raditz. He slept but it wasn’t a restful sleep; how could it be? He was not only surrounded by insect like people who looked ready to kill him at any moment. For several long moments he stared at the few pieces of scraps that had been tossed into the cage with him but he didn’t feel hungry.

He was supposed to be stronger then Raditz and Nappa. It didn’t make sense as to why he couldn’t break free from the simple looking wooden cage or why he got kidnapped to begin with. It’s what filled his mind during his waking hours and haunted him in his sleep. He felt stiff and sore from not moving for in over 72 hours. He was so lost in thought that he didn’t hear a twig snap or a battle break out on the edge of the village.

It was a bloody fight that seemed to drag on for hours as Raditz and Nappa fought on. Both where to preoccupied with the fight to notice the child like creature that had slinked over to the cage Vegeta was in, stabbing him in the chest, just missing his heart. Vegeta managed not to scream out in pain from it as he blasted the child in the head, killing it as he curled up on himself. The scent of familiar blood hit Raditz sharply; his eyes hit the cage and the growing pool of blood. He left the rest of the fight to Nappa to kill the last of the villagers as he rushed over Vegeta.

“‘Geta... oh god....stay with me ‘Geta...please” Raditz begged softly as he stripped the smaller man of his now broken armour and used the torn top part of his uniform to wad up. He pressed it tightly against the wound, keeping it in place with his chest as he held Vegeta to him. It didn’t take a genius to see Vegeta need serious medical help. Vegeta didn’t answer; the pain was too much for him to speak through. Only after Nappa gave the signal it was all clear; Raditz pulled out the remote for his pod, calling it to his location. He had to get Vegeta back to HQ and the healing center.

“How is he?” Nappa asked keeping his distance from the wounded man. He didn’t need Raditz seeing him as a threat at the moment. He could see the color draining from Vegeta’s skin and Raditz shake. He didn’t know if Vegeta could survive the three day space travel back to the planet Frieza had set up to be his base of operation and a place where the families of his men were, to keep things running smoothly. He notice Raditz was shaking; this was hard on the man. The last three days they had pushed themselves hard to find their comrade along with killing who ever and whatever crossed their paths.

“I...I don’t know Nappa... had he been stabbed anywhere else I’d know what to do, to keep him from bleeding to death but you can’t use a tourniquet on chest wounds. Program his ship to met us but at HQ, I’m going to taking him there in my pod.” Raditz whispered as he gently brushed the hair out of Vegeta face. Nappa nodded and helped Raditz get into the pod with Vegeta, keeping the pressure on the wound the whole time.

“Go quickly Raditz, I’ll catch up with Vegeta’s Pod. Just keep him alive, for both our sakes.” The two men nodded to each other before the pod closed and took off. Raditz pressed the medical emergence button on the control panel just after the pod got into space. An air mask dropped down from the top of the pod. He secured it around Vegeta’s head as the temperature in the pod started to drop. Raditz didn’t care that he was chilled. He was doing everything he could do to save Vegeta’s life, even if it meant, his own death.

He noticed the man was thinner than normal, almost bonier then the last he saw the prince. “Vegeta, I love you...please don’t leave me...not like this” he whispered, letting his tears flow. The colder it got in the pod, the faster it went and the more Raditz started to get tired. He knew his body was shutting down trying to keep him alive by pulling as much blood as it could to stay near his vital organs. “You stay with me my prince and I’ll stay with you, okay?” he asked as he eyes slipped shut.

In record time, the pod landed on the launch pad after racing through space over the last 53 hours. The pod opened but no one came out. Inside, frost lined the interior walls. The blood had crystallized on Raditz armour. “Get the medics stat, we got wounded.” The man said after looking into the pod. Raditz’s eyes twitched at the sound of the man’s voice but they didn’t open.

It took several minutes for the medical teams to pull Vegeta out of Raditz’s hold. Once they had Vegeta rushed off, they worked to move Raditz to the medical center. Talk was already spreading about Raditz willingness to freeze to death to save Vegeta’s life. If the prince lived it would be the most heroic act any of them had seen in years. Several hours later Nappa arrived with Vegeta’s pod. He didn’t even have to ask where the other two were. He headed for the medical bay.

“Sir, look at this...there’s something off about Vegeta’s body scan and it’s not about the stab wound that narrowly missed his heart.” One of the assistants said as Nappa walked into the room. He stood by the door listening to what was being said. No one seemed to be paying attention to him, more focused on doing their jobs.

“What do you mean Xi?” the doctor asked taking a look at the reports the assistant was looking over on the screen. “Holy shit... Adjust the tank’s contents. I rather not deal with a hormonal saiyan who nearly died, only to find out that we were the reason he lost the child.” Nappa blinked, taking in the information. Vegeta was pregnant, explained why the smaller man wasn’t able to keep up in the fight and why his power was low. He looked over at Raditz who was laying on a table with blankets over him.

“Can you tell if it’s a boy or a girl?” Nappa asked looking over at the two at the screen as he walked over to the tank that Vegeta was in, watching the green liquid turn to a purple color. It was a sign that it was a less potent healing mix that was gentle on the fetus and the mother, though it took healing almost four times longer.

“Too soon to tell yet; though he should be back up and about by the end of the week, hopefully we’ll know by then. As for Raditz; physical his fine now that we treated the frostbite but we don’t know if the extreme cold left him brain dead or not. You should report in Lord Frieza about the mission, I’ll inform him about Vegeta and Raditz” the Doctored said shooing the large bald saiyan out of the room and press a bottom on the console. The screen flickered to life with the picture of Frieza appearing.

“What do you want doctor?” Frieza growled out, being in a bad mood. The doctored bowed before the camera.

“Sorry to interrupt you lord Frieza but the three saiyans are back. I’ve sent Nappa your way. Raditz is de-thawing as we speak and Vegeta is in the healing tank. About Vegeta mi’lord, he’s not only gone into heat but he’s pregnant. Healing him is going to take longer than planned. We’ll know within a few weeks about the gender of the child.” He said knowing that Frieza wasn’t going to be happy finding out about Vegeta being pregnant but it couldn’t be helped at this point.

“Keep me posted about their conditions and when you know about the child.” Frieza said before the screen went black. The doctor sighed sitting down in a chair with a heavy sigh as he looked between the two saiyans. He didn’t tell Frieza about the bit marks on the two saiyans. There was little point to make the tyrant madder then he already was. He was already figuring that Nappa was going to be sent back to him in need of healing after the meeting with Frieza.

But to the Doctor’s pleasant surprise, Nappa wasn’t sent back to him half dead. As the night wore on, Raditz began to stir. The pair smiled as they walked over to him, waiting for the man to fully wake up. It wasn’t till the wee hours of the morning did the man actually woke up. It took a few moments for Raditz to get his bearings, before bolting up, panic and worry clear in his eyes. “Where’s Vegeta? Please tell me he survived the trip back here?” he asked looking at the doctor. Not knowing he was the one they were worried about dying on them.

“Vegeta and the child will survive; you got them here in time. Truth being told, you where the one were the one we were worried about. You nearly froze to death Raditz, what were you thinking sending your pod into emergency mode without putting the mask on yourself?” the doctor asked looking at the man. Raditz looked to the healing tanks.

“That I had to get my mate the medical attention he needed no matter what it cost. Had I put him in his pod and sent him back, he would have bleed out before he got here.” Raditz said getting up on unsteady legs, walking over to the tank Vegeta was in, putting his hand on the glass as he let the news about Vegeta being pregnant sink in. No matter what Vegeta’s view of it where going to be, he was going to have a child to be raising. Though it hurt to think of Vegeta rejecting the child they had created now they where mated but he was planning to stick true to his word; he would raise the child alone if Vegeta couldn’t handle/ ready for the task like he promised the prince the first night on that planet.
